[Verse]
Rip it down and tear it up
Racin’ around these big yellow trucks
They see it hard, so hard to believe
But that’s life, kid; you’re just watchin’ me
The little things in life
Are like a candlelight
In the dark, it’s all you see
Pull up the pipes
Holding you up
Don’t let ‘em get to you

[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid of what the hard hats say
The yellow’s just an illusion
Invite a bull into a China shop and that’s
Demolition

[Verse]
Cry me an ocean and the seven seas
All you want, but it won’t get to me
Maybe I’m not so very PC
But if I don’t say anything

[Hook]
Then nothing will hurt you
Stop hurting yourself
You’re thinking the negative things
And it isn’t even your job to tell
How I’m feeling

[Refrain]
And it wasn't that long ago
Where nothing you could say
Would get you impaled with a crane
Oh, but now
The demolition derby is town
And they’re stalking you with hounds
Tearin' your house down

[Pre-Chorus]
But we don’t listen
But we don’t listen
But we don’t listen
But we don’t listen, no, no we don’t
[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid of what the hard hats say
The yellow’s just an illusion
Invite a bull into a China shop, and that’s
And that’s demolition

[Outro]
Demolition
Demolition
Demolition
Demolition
